Orbital Canvas

Orbital Canvas is an interactive orbital mechanics and space mission simulation web application built with Svelte, Three.js, and ephemeris data from VSOP87

https://orbitalcanvas.web.app

Features

• Real-time 3d visualization of the Solar System at adjustable timestamps.
• Planetary positions computed from VSOP ephemerides.
• Time controlled simulation with adjustable speed.
• Trajectory and Orbit rende ring.
• Interactive camera controls.
• Retro Apollo CRT style 📺

Disclaimer

This project is intended for educational and visualization purposes. While physicaly grounded by high precision ephemerides, the simulator does not (yet) account for:

• Relativisitic effects.
• Non-spherical gravity fields.
• Atmospheric drag.
• Thrust modeling.
